Question the Question?

    If I am watching the news and they say that the economy took a dump, why would I need a news caster to explain to me what that meant ? And if it is a question, why would I need an explanation of the question? When the newscaster says "and this is what this means"why would I need an interpretation of what he just said? Do I need an interpretation of the interpretation and a definition of what is said? Why would the news make it so confusing that you need your psychologist to make an interpretation? Is it news if you cannot understand what is being said or is it something else?
